For the crust, in a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate wafers, melted butter and cinnamon then toss gently to mix. Press mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a spring form pan. Set aside.

For the filling, use a large bowl to combine the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and melted chocolate. Mix well until smooth. Using a wooden spoon, stir in eggs until just combined. Stir in the Bailey’s, whipping cream and vanilla extract.

Pour the filling into the crust-lined pan. Place spring form pan in shallow baking tray. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until centre appears nearly set when gently shaken.

Cool in spring form pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, loosen from the side of the pan. Cool for 30 minutes or longer if needed. Remove side of the spring form pan and chill for 1 hour. Cover and chill overnight. Enjoy on Paddy’s Day!
